How to Make Rose Petal Salts for the Bath!




In a medium bowl mix: 2 cups of epsom salts, 1/4 cup baking soda, 3-5 drops rose oil, and about a 1/4 cup dried rose petals (or more). This is a very easy mix and it looks great! Roses are known to be the highest vibration in nature. Perhaps that is why we receive roses as an expression of love!

Depression


If you are ever feeling depressed or "down and out", the color orange is a great energizer and uplifts and brightens the mood. It has been used in color therapy to create more happiness and a state of joy. Color therapy uses color to bring the body's imbalances into harmony. Wearing orange or placing it in an area that you use frequently in the home can greatly help a low mood.

Roots


This is a stone called hematite. It has been called the "stone for the mind" because it can help one to achieve better mental clarity. It can been used to dispel heat from a fever when applied to the forehead. Hematite balances the yin-yang (feminine/masculine) energy in the body, and balances the meridians within the energy body. It is widely acknowledged as a grounding stone, which means that its energy is more dense, and therefore tends to "root" or "ground" its surroundings (including you!). When you feel as though you are spiraling, unbalanced, or anxious, hematite can aid you in balancing your physical and energetic (spiritual) bodies.
A grounding meditation: Stand in place while holding or wearing hematite. Imagine your legs growing roots to the center of the earth as you breathe slowly. Have someone push your shoulders- the more "rooted" you are, the harder it will be to move you.

Crystal Grid



Jacque and I just got back from a Crystal Reiki workshop, and it was AM
AZING! ...


We have been creatin
g grids every day since. This is a crystal grid which is formed to direct thought energy (your intention) towards a specific goal. For example- better health, a certain area of your life that needs attention, something you would like to manifest into your life, etc. Clear Quartz (the white longer crystals in the picture) have three notable properties: They can amplify, be programmed, and retain memory. Clear Quartz is a great stone for clearing negative (stagnant) energies. The larger stone in the middle of the grid is Rose Quartz. This is a very healing stone and enhances one's loving relationships. Every crystal we wear or have in our home has a specific purpose and property in healing emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Each crystal we buy should be cleaned because they can hold negative energies. To clean a crystal: Hold it under running water, soak it in sea salt water for 30 min, or put in the sunlight for a few hours.
